Key characteristics

OpenTURNS is a Unix/Linux software with three main components :

a scientific C++ library including an internal data model and algorithms dedicated to the treatment of uncertainties. The main function of that library is giving to specific applications all the functionalities needed to treat uncertainties in studies. Targeted users are all engineers who want to introduce the probabilistic dimension in their so far deterministic studies.

an independent application with a graphical user interface. This application was built to become the work environment for the specialist of the treatment of uncertainties. Targeted users are once again industrial practitioners: those who identify the treatment of uncertainties as a full task, which can be spread to multiple engineering domains.

a python module with high level operators in the probabilistic and statistical field. The interest of this language is to be both a powerful scientific language (capable of using C++ libraries), and a user friendly interpreted language like Matlab’s one. This python module was designed to make the development of prototypes easier (in order to test new algorithms and methods for example), to become an easy-to-use support for educational works, … This module intends to become a natural environment capable of integrating new developments within the field of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. The targeted users are here research centres and the academic community.

Bug reporting

If you find a bug in any component of Open TURNS, please tell us.
We intend to distribute a software that behaves the way we (you and I) expect it to do. But before you send a new bug, please read the FAQ.

To help us solve the bugs you may have found, you have to open a new ticket (the link is shown on the top menu bar) and describe as much as possible the problem. That is, you have to tell us the component involved (or supposed involved), the version of Open TURNS you are using, and the sequence of actions that reproduces the bug. Without those elements, it is very difficult for us to solve it. You can also give us your email address to be informed of the bug resolution process.

But, please, do not enter any milestone. This element is only for us to inform you of the version in which your bug will be solved.
Be honest when you enter a severity. A erroneously critical or blocking bug may disturb us in our way to solve the maximum of problems.

When your ticket is created, you will be able to follow it through its number on one of the ticket reports.
